The present work summarizes the recent trends in the development of e-skin systems. Firstly, we revised the material development for e-skin systems. Secondly, aspects related to fabrication techniques were presented. Next, the main applications of e-skin systems in monitoring, such as temperature, pulse, and other bio-electric signals related to health status, were analyzed. Finally, aspects regarding the power supply and signal processing were discussed. The special features of e-skin as identified contribute clearly to the developing potential as in situ diagnostic tool for further implementation in clinical practice at patient personal levels.}, organization = {This research was supported by grants of the Romanian Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, CCCDI–UEFISCDI, project number PN-III-P2-2.1-PED-2019-2041 and project number PN-III-P1-1.1-PD-2019-0364 awarded to A.C.B. and PN-III-P2-2.1-SOL-2020-0090-Contract 13Sol/15.06.2020, and PN-III-P4-ID-PCE-2020-186 Contract PCE 180/17/02/2021 awarded to C.I.}, publisher = {MDPI}, publisher = {Micromachines, 2021, 12(9), 1091}, title = {E-skin: the dawn of a new era of on-body monitoring systems}, author = {Bunea, Alina-Cristina and Dediu, Violeta and Laszlo, Edwin Alexandru and Pistritu, Florian and Carp, Mihaela and Iliescu, Florina Silvia and Ionescu, Octavian Narcis and Iliescu, Ciprian}, }
